Pillars

2014

a small series of sculptures in acrylic, marble powder, glass fibre, bambooVarious sizes

A strong love for engineering resulted in the Pillar sub series for the Freight project. It solved the need for structure and stability - to build vertically resulted in this bold but aesthetic columns that can play a supporting role with other sculptures or be an entity on itself.

Pick & Go

2014acrylic, glass fibre, wood, steel 153x285x210cm

A part of the Freight series. Pick & Go is inspired by the concept of hanging cranes destined to sort the goods in a harbour. The main feature of the sculpture is the game of balance and existence, almost archaic machinery are mixed with a sci-fi design language.

The sculpture is a mixture of modelling in clay, casting in acrylics, and building with wood and steel. The steel tackle that provides the equilibrium is cut and welded by hand.

Tuned V8

2018

modelled in clay, cast in epoxy. Coated with acrylic paint and high-gloss finishing

This sculpture is part from the The Sky is the Limit-series exhibited at the solo show Hand-Made Injection into the Virtual, Gallery:By Other Means, London.

(Inspired by V8 piston engines)

V Quad

2018

modelled in clay, cast in acrylic and concrete, polished by hand

Type 3 Bullet

2011

modelled in clay, cast in acrylic and concrete, polished by hand20x280x25cm

Inspired by the Japanese Bullet trains, this is the most train-like sculpture from the Turbocharged series. It’s bullet-shape nose, cockpit and streamlined cut-outs are the core of it’s remarkable appearance.

Type 3 Bullet celebrates the fast lane on the conceptual side, but created in clay and hand-polished, it uses a slow-pace finishing technique to provide an unusual stress between content and elaboration.

Explosion

Part of the All Your Base Series, Explosion appeared as its wild counterpart and represented exploding missiles.

Within this series, though the majority are sculpted, several entities of these explosions are modelled directly into Carbon Fibre Epoxy, fine tuned with the gentle help of a disc-cutter and then coated with a mixture of specialist car-paints and old-style oil paint. The result is a raw but subtle mixture that embodies a powerful form that exudes the emotion of rage.

Spider Two

2012

epoxy, carbon fibre, PU coating, pigment10x18x6cm

Crash

2010

polyester, epoxy, oil paint, car paint, PU coating, steel300x35x30cm

Part of the All Your Base Series, Crash represent a crashing spaceship. The body of the ship is modelled in clay and cast in polyester.

However, the movement of the crash is modelled directly in thickened epoxy and painted afterwards with oil paint. This action almost completely compromises sculpture, turning it into an almost abstract piece that becomes a portrayal of motion.

Tripod

Elephant

2014

acrylic, marble powder, steel, oil paint74x23x63cm

In contrast to the other works of the Freight series, Elephant has a very anecdotal approach.

Inspired by the brutal and imposing straddle carriers you can spot in various container terminals, Elephant -Their nickname in the port of Antwerp- is a bestial and futuristic interpretation of these impressive machines.

This sculpture is modelled by hand and cast in high tech acrylics, some of them contain Carrara marble powder or have a special oil paint coating.

Sorting Out

Bullet

Part of the All Your Base Series, the plethora of the Bullet sculptures represent missiles floating through the air, searching for their target.

These small entities have a span of up to 3 meters and are modelled by hand and cast in carbon fibre epoxy. Beneath the aesthetic is a dependable approach to application - from crude material finishing to the application of an oil-paint coating.

Fighter One

Blocked

2014

contains acrylic, concrete, ash, glass fibre, steel36x22x187cm

Blocked is a good example of the abstraction of subject to the form. The idiom drives my art practice and if you're not briefed as a spectator, you won't know that this sculpture represents a crane. It began with the concept of the machine yet it ends with a different body that represents the same emotion, but aesthetically doesn't represent a crane per sé.

Containers

2014

acrylic, glass fibre, pigment22x9x9cm

The main part of the enormous Freight project, these sculptures provided the desired colour and feel of the series. Where the rest of the Freight-sculptures use gentle and subtle; beige, grey and white colour-schemes, these little containers breath colour and create an underlying chemistry in the series.

The sides of these containers have a lot of different signatures and were created with 22 different base models, each with their own moulds, The result was 332 unique sculptures.

The containers were intended to work autonomously but also in large clusters, allowing the versatile ability to change the scale of the presentation, depending on the size of the area.
